My idea was a bit more extreme, and completely redesigned ROTJ. No more Jabba the Gangster, No more Bothan Spies, No more Rebel Costume cupboard.

It is a massive fan-film subplot about the the capture fo coruscant and using the dormant speratist fleet like the army of the dead in LOTR. Before you read on, realise that this plot line is not really about a sequence of events, but more about themes and an overall ending. Not all the ideas were properly worked out, and some of them stem for what MY perfect saga would be like. This would also be my ideal approach to the PT.

Anyway, the rough idea,

The crawl describes how since the events of ESB (we are now 5 years on) the empire has struggled more and more to keep the peace. Independent rebel insurgents (separate to the alliance), have by some miracle have caught the empire off guard and taken Coruscant. The Rebel Fleet (now much bigger) rush to their aide to help them keep the planet.

The rebels now are stuck in a take-and-hold scenario, and are in a constant battle to maintain their hold of the capital. This is how the film opens. We will follow some new characters, which would essentially replace ackbar, mon mothma and general nadine later on.

Either through exposition, or through even more footage, Rebel commandos breaking through a last Imperial Garrison encounter a command room, to which they see something terrifying.

Back to rebel command, our three leaders discuss the imperial strategy of guerilla tactics, how the war is finally at a turning point in the Rebel's favour, how pretty much every rebel staff member is now on coruscant, and that the emperor has disappeared. Suddenly an interruption from a commando, and then the same hologram of what they saw earlier with equally horrified expressions 'It cannot be!'. Then they ask about Princess Leia's current whereabouts, which would lead to Jabba's palace.

Film follows as usual.

The OMG moment characters keep getting turns out to be the Death Star II, which would be initially revealed in the briefing later on.

Jabba the Hutt would be set up to be the final surviving separatist leader in the PT as well as a gangster. Some additional character or device from his palace would allow the rebels to reactivate the droid fleet.

The Droid fleet is required to defend coruscant whilst a Rebel Task Force travel to Endor to attack the Death Star.

The Emperor escaped Coruscant as we already know, and it turned out to be part of his plan all along to get all the rebels in one place. He plans to use the Death Star to replace the capital (after blowing it up).

Luke and Vader's story will carry on as usual, but now will float around these much larger events.

New characters introduced in this new opening may continue appearing during the various battles. They could even feature in linked PT edits.
